I am Carroll Ballard's fan and I respect his directing.
Nevertheless, as a racing sailor myself, I was skeptical about the action scenes and how realistic they could be.
As in the other films, the excellent director, obviously spent a lot of time studying and watching race sailing before filming this masterpiece.
Hats off to Mr. Ballard!
Excellent job.
Of course, congratulations to the whole team and not only the actors.
The supporting staff did an excellent job. THANKS!
